Mark Justiniani studied painting at the University of the Philippines in 1982, later joining various protest art movements associated with socio-political issues. The critally acclaimed artist was awarded the much-coveted Thirteen Artists Award by the Cultural Center of the Philippines in 1994. He has represented the Philippines in various international conferences, workshops and exhibitions in Japan, Denmark, Australia and the USA. Justiniani's work was included in the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco's exhibition "At Home & Abroad, 20 Contemporary Filipino Artists." His early career documented the lives of ordinary people living precariously in a society filled with hypocrisy, contradiction and futility.
